thats why it is a good idea to throw in an extra network card & cheap hub then split it off,
or re-direct the miner traffic via WIFI to a separate hub......, keeping the big traffic on a switch.
Personally I also keep a mobile phone on standby with a bluetooth network redirector setup in the controlling SBC, should it loose connectivity via cable/WIFI....
The fact connection interrupts is not a problem itself. The problem is that cgminer never recovers after interruption for us.
